Anybody studied Observing & Assessing Young Children & Families

[Sonak]

I have to do a Video Analysis which I have to analyse & evaluate in the light of three different assessment instruments drawn from at least two different professional disciplines. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Also Part of my essay question states:

Give consideration of how assessment is used in a range of professional disciplines & how it reflects those disciplines

Hope this makes sense to anyone that has studied this area & are familiar to these terms? Please help - a big thanks

No idea if this is any help, but your assessment and evaluations could cover the topics of
Health and Safety.
Comunication.
Parenting.
Maybe you can think more about the three subjects I have mentioned and write about them.
Good Luck.

Assessment used in the context of Health workers such as a Health Visitor who would be looking at developmental milestones.
Social Worker might look at interactions between the family and the child
Environmental assessment
Communication.

Types of instrument vary form questionnaires, surveys etc

do professionals rely on assessment tools and instrumenst or they use them in conjunction with professional judgement?
